@article{ISI:000077760200059, abstract = {A coarse-grained stochastic hydrodynamical description of velocity and concentration fluctuations in steadily sedimenting suspensions is constructed and analyzed using self-consistent and renormalization-group methods. We find a nonequilibrium phase transition from an ``unscreened″ phase in which we recover the Caflisch-Luke [Phys. Fluids 28, 759 (1985)] divergence of the velocity variance to a ``screened″ phase where the fluctuations have a finite correlation length depending on the volume fraction phi as phi(-1/3), in agreement with Segre et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 2574 (1997)] (if their observation of a phi-independent diffusivity is used), and the velocity variance is independent of system size.}, author = {Levine, A and Ramaswamy, S and Frey, E and Bruinsma, R}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.81.5944}, issn = {0031-9007}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, month = {DEC 28}, number = {26}, orcid-numbers = {Frey, Erwin/0000-0001-8792-3358}, pages = {5944-5947}, researcherid-numbers = {Frey, Erwin/M-2613-2017}, times-cited = {63}, title = {Screened and unscreened phases in sedimenting suspensions}, unique-id = {ISI:000077760200059}, volume = {81}, year = {1998} }
